Toys

So these toys were from my childhood. A combination of muscle men, army ants and a Voltron Lion! Fantastic!! These are coming home from NH to PDX!

New Look!

I got tired of the mustache part of my beard getting in my mouth…so here is what I am going with now. Gray is really showing…

Teabagging, birthing and other fun nonsense…

So Huffington posted a story in regards to the protests that have been going on (link here). I just don’t get what the purpose of just yelling for the sake of is. Shouldn’t you be emailing/writing/calling your representative and Senators?

Old New Van Update

Bypassed the heater core on Friday! Looks great and runs better than when I bought it. Funny enough, I built this repair up to be a 2-3 hour job with draining the radiator, bypassing the heater core, flushing the radiator and then filling it back up. Turns out that Schuck’s doesn’t have the VW antifreeze that I need. So, since the van has been steady leaking since day one, I just unhooked the hoses and attached them together. All in all, it took me 10 minutes to do the job and then another 5 minutes to adjust the  hoses with the O rings (so it wouldn’t be getting crushed by the cooling thing for the engine when the hood closes (how’s that for a super technical term?). Next up will be to get this thing detailed and put some of the pieces back on it.

Taking first beach trip when father in law comes to town. First camping trip hopefully in August. Should be a blast…

New Eurovan!

New Van!

Here it is! 900 bucks for this thing! It runs. Only needs a new heater core!!! Not a pop top, but has the fold down bed in the back. Love it already!!

Sleeping in the crib!

This is a milestone! Samantha has been cosleeping with us for one year and the last two nights she has slept all night in her crib! It has been absolutely a blessing. Today she took both naps in the crib and they both were longer than an hour! This is huge for us.

This basically opens up our world to a host of possibilities. We are no longer scared of getting a baby sitter or of putting our daughter to sleep. We no longer have to share our bed with her either.

Please pray that this great trend keeps up and our new “super sleeper” continues to sleep so well.

La diddy da, de da…

Enjoyed some of this and felt like singing. Who will join in? We need to have a summer fire again and enjoy it!

Why doesn’t Texas fall into the Gulf of Mexico?

Wow, just wow.

Work…

Sick again today. Made it into work. Did not get Director job. I am okay with that. Got 14 enrollments this month (they want 10). Living the dream tomorrow…

My cousin turned me on to this stuff. Actually pretty interesting as far as their process and how they handle the Snus. Check it out!
